About Emily
Emily Moley is an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, substance use issues, and a range of related difficulties listed in her specialties.
She offers straightforward, practical care that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going and trying different ways of responding. Emily uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed methods to structure that work.
Her clinical path began at St. John Fisher College, where she earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. After graduate school she worked in outpatient mental health, providing individual and group work for people with mood disorders and co-occurring substance use concerns. She became licensed as an LMHC in New York in 2014.
Emily then spent nearly six years working for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. There she provided mental health and substance abuse treatment and developed a deeper understanding of how trauma, abandonment, trust, guilt, shame, and family dynamics shape behavior and coping.
In practice she helps people identify strengths and develop coping skills to replace older patterns that no longer serve them. Emily frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person brings their own knowledge and she helps test new strategies and responses.
How Emily adapts CBT and trauma work for online sessions
Emily commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into clear steps a person can try between sessions. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, problems with attention, and practical coping skills. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past abuse and on Client-Centered approaches to keep the focus on each person's priorities.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Emily will discuss goals, what has worked before, and what feels manageable. Together she and the client choose methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video for more interactive work or choose alternatives that require less bandwidth. Ask about the session types offered when you sign up so you can pick the arrangement that fits your routine.
